I'll get the borders on her this week. But by the time I do, the snow will be long gone. We are heading into a long spell of rain.....glorious rain. We can breathe a sign of relief that fire season will be over soon.

Hello Everyone,
I've been enjoying the nice Fall weather while making leaves......lots, and lots of leaves for my Leaf Peeper design.
Hello Everyone,
Fall has arrived here in the mountains.
This is not the final layout, as the quilt is going to be considerably larger. It is going to take me weeks to pull this quilt together just the way I want it to look. I have to find the perfect fabric to ...
read moreHello Everyone,
My sister was here for the past week, and we've been busy making another Leaf Peeper quilt with batik fabrics.
Warning, warning, warning.....these leaves are very addicting! I find it fun to select the four fabrics needed for each block. My sister thinks it fun to sew them together. It was a perfect combination of efforts.
I'm going to make my quilt in a gradation of colors, from light to ...

This is probably my favorite picture, but it doesn't really showcase the quilt with any detail.
It was hot yesterday ...

You can see by the backside that it is fairly dense quilting.
But then I saw this on the back of the quilt. I had a row of leaves where the tension was off. I can't repeat what I said when I saw this. You would be very disappointed in my use of profanity. It took me maybe 30 minutes to stipple a row ...
I was going to do cross-hatching in the border, but at the last minute I switched to feathers. I can do feathers in my sleep. I have my music on and then I just go for it. I had my iPad on shuffle, and listened to everything from Gregorian Chant music, to AC/DC, to Christmas carols. It was quite the line-up of hits!
I think I will do a simple cross-hatch in the borders. I'm under the gun time wise with this one. Don't ask me what I'm going to quilt in the interior of the quilt. I'm still waiting to get a "spark" of inspiration. Hopefully it comes to me soon. Maybe I need to go walk around the block and clear my over-crowded brain.
I ...
The majority of the leaves are made with "October Morning" fabric by Kim Diehl for Henry Glass Fabrics. The setting squares are from Kim's "Wit and Wisdom" fabric line. I have the leaf part of the pattern written which was the hardest part. Now I have to finish the rest of it.
I ...
I love the way the rake matches the turquoise in the leaves. How do you like the new shingles on the wishing well? Maybe it will start a trend.
Mazey is our little helper when we are out in the yard. She also acts as our "bear" early warning system. She barks and acts differently when the scent of bear is in the air. We've learned to pay attention, and heed her warning signal.
I'll start sewing the blocks together today once ...
Now this is a pile of leaves that I wouldn't mind raking! The fabric is October Morning by Kim Diehl for Henry Glass & Co.
Yet again, another visitor during dinner. The bear walked up out of the woods and into our yard yesterday. This is the second time this week we've been visited by a bear. It was not afraid of us at all, but it didn't enjoy hearing Mazey's barking.
This bear is much darker than our usual ...
But then I couldn't help myself when my fabric order arrived from In Between Stitches. The fabric line is called, "October Morning" by Kim Diehl for Henry Glass & Co. This line is going to go fast!
The setting squares are ...
